Wenxin Zhao
Wenxin Zhao won the Grand Prize in the 25th “1_WALL” Graphics Competition for “Void Space,” five video presentations incorporating illustrations that capture humans in their most natural and realistic way, as recorded by security camera. The judges gave high marks to Zhao’s creative zeal, exemplified by her continual updating of her work throughout the three months from the first round of judging to the last; to her expressive strength, the way she infused her works with noise on the assumption that they would be shown on old-fashioned TV screens; and to her skill in directing how her works would be displayed.
For her solo exhibition, Zhao chose the theme of “space just large enough for one person.” Using 3D computer graphics, she designed small rooms just 10 centimeters square. On display will be works she edited into videos, as well as three-dimensional works made by 3D printer. Inside her small rooms, the imagined and the real mix together. In one, her subject keeps searching for a cat that never shows up; in another, she sleeps on a volcano that is about to erupt. Today, amid the pandemic people have become increasingly aware of space occupied by one person, and Zhao uses 10 types of room to express the solitude, sense of security and other emotions experienced in confined spaces by everyone.
Please enjoy the works Wenxin Zhao has created in the roughly 9 months since she received her Grand Prize. On April 19 (Wed), an online talk event will bring Zhao together with art director and graphic designer Yuri Uenishi.
